Just when I thought the Olympics couldn't depress me further....

[TitanSound]

So, to recap, we currently have planned or in place:

Surface to Air missiles in a ring around London.
A Type 45 destroyer to be moored on the Thames.
RAF Typhoons to be based at Northolt.
Various helicopters belonging to the army around London.
A massive 17km fence with night vision cameras and 5,000 volts going through it.
Random stop and search powers if the Protection of Freedoms bill goes through in time.
Military and Navy Police on patrol in Central London.
Unmanned surveillance drones.
Numberplate reading cameras, facial recognition, retina and fingerprint scanners for "security".

Anything I've missed?

Yeah gestapo tactics on small boys cycling excitedly.

I meant about the "security" arrangements in London but fair point

 

[treelover]

When it(the torch) came to my home town, it was a great atmosphere but I couldn't believe how aggressive some of the PCSO's were in attempting to maintain a corridor for it, screaming 'get back, get back' like the crowd of mums, kids, and students were a football mob or protesters, it was quite bizarre

I don't like it any more than anyone else, but in these days of sucide bombers not all mums, students or even kids can be assumed to be only that.

You poor man

 

[TitanSound]

Suicide bombers are so last year. It's all about poison drones now

I know, I know. We tried ignoring it but look where we ended up - suicide bombings a daily occurrence. There's no going back now. We just have to accept absolutely every single security measure ever suggested, by anyone ever or else it will be back to the everyday mayhem we experienced again and again. I don't like it but there it is. The only people who object to it have got something to hide. And they call islam a religion of peace? Don't make me laugh. Heard about those somalis who live in a mansion in Hampstead? (etc etc until I fall off my barstool dead drunk).

Your reply lost all meaning once you'd said this.

 

[Lock&Light]

You poor man

I take that you disagree, but are not able to put your disagreement into sensible words.

It's pity. It needs no words.

I think that means we're on the same wavelength.

Jesus Christ, you have seriously lost the plot.

 

[DaveCinzano]

I for one cannot wait for the day that L&L becomes radicalised. Then primed and detonated in short order.

 

[Lock&Light]

I am not and never will be a security guard. I am not responsible for how security guards think. I'm simply saying that that is how they do think.

Another half-wit wishing for my death.

 

[claphamboy]

The point is that they don't actually 'think', they tend to be mindless morons that enjoy dishing out violence against innocent members of the public, and that's the major part of the bloody problem.

The other part of the problem is those halfwits that attempt to defend and justify their actions, which seems to be what you're trying to do.

 

[likesfish]

I think you might find the people getting shouty have spent rather too long attempting to get people to move back after 40 minutes the urge to start shouting

 

[grit]

Lock and light, There is no threat

 

[trashpony]

On a totally different note, one of my colleagues is dancing in the opening ceremony and is involved in lots of rehearsals. They have also been rehearsing with the sheep, cows and chickens

I simply prefer to see the world as it actually is rather than as I would like it to be.

Did you also say that the day before 7/7?

 

[Pickman's model]

i'm sure other urbanites would chip in a quid or two with me to pay for continuous travel for you on the tube for the next few weeks.

How many female or child suicide bombers have we had in this country?

 

[claphamboy]

Bollocks you do.

You totally fail to even see what's on the screen in front of you, you claimed earlier the kid came up behind the security guard from nowhere, whereas the footage clearly shows it was the security guard that came from nowhere to attack the kid, who was just riding alongside the crowd, and drag him into the path of a moving car.

If you can't even see that, it's no wonder that you have been making such totally bonkers posts, and making a complete tit of yourself into the bargain.

Literally thousands. Thanks to yooman rights

 

[Deareg]

Major fail.

It's not, honest.

 

[Lock&Light]

How many of any description were there before the first?

 

[goldenecitrone]

That's true. Trust nobody. Ever.
